Campaign!

[D'artagnan]

We've started a Web campaign to boost readership in the newsgroup. Created
a blog, journal, or sumpin' on Rotten Tomatoes to advertise the group. Not
sure how it works there, but we're desperate--aren't we?

I can't find the Flynn fans who populated the ng when it was born in the
late 90's. Some had great (Flynn) Web sites and popped over to the ng to
give lively discussion.

Thanks to Beaver Lad & Igenlode for welcome support in the new year!

Created a Flynn group on Rotten Tomatoes, redirecting here. Get the word
out, peeps! Kick arse! :)

This seems to be their unofficial blog
http://www.theerrolflynnblog.com/blog

This is their official replacement mailing list, which you can't read
without getting a 'Yahoo ID'. (Looking at the figures, even traffic on
that seems to have gone down a lot in the last year since I lost access
to the address I was subscribed under.)

Here is what I was able to salvage from the Wayback Machine of one
original poster's website (he had long since lost access to the images,
so I laboriously uploaded them here so that he could have them back
again!)

Thank you, thank you for the info!! I created an account at the blog site,
but I'm not sure what to do with it at the moment. The Zaca group, on the
other hand, is more user-friendly with a great description announcing its
charter. I posted a message there requesting a stroll-by this direction...

If those fans kick us in the arse (I gave them that option), then <shrug>
we'll figure out something else? BTW, the "traffic" (as you described)
does seem small--62 members. That may bode ill for us in Usenet.

In any case--THANK YOU, Igenlode! :)
